Hello I have just started on my journey.
Looking for some kiwi friends to help with encouragement and ideas. I have been finding that I get super hungry just after I eat which is driving me insane.
If anyone has some good, reasonably cheap snack and lunch ideas (that can be taken to work) id be very grateful :)

    Hi. You are welcome to add me to your friends list. My diary is open to friends so you can see local/familiar brands and get ideas for meals.

    I an using 6:1 fasting (was 5:2 but I am close to maintenance).

    Air popped popcorn is a great snack. You can add savoury flavours that you but to sprinkle on veges and meat, have the more traditional salt, or a light dusting of icing sugar.

    If you have a microwave at work I have found quick oats to be super easy and filling.

    Cruskits are good. I often eat them plain or with Vegemite but you could have cheese, tomatoes, tinned fish, etc

    Fasting is not something that suits everyone. When I started on MFP I would have never considered it.

    More protein and fat are the key to feeling full. Boiled eggs are the perfect snack, and fill you up :)

    These are the snacks I love and have filled my cupboard with so I always have some healthy options to grab when I feel the munchies coming.

    - Special K cereal bars, caramel or raspberry flavour are less then 100 cals each and perfect for a sweet fix.
    - Belvita biscuits, a pack of 4 biscuits comes to around 230 cals depending on what flavour you buy
    - Vitaweat 9 grain crackers, 4 for 100 cals, you can top them with whatever you like or have them plain
    - peckish crackers, bbq flavour, less then 100 cals per bag

    Feel free to add me as a friend so you can see my diary.

    I find the sculpt protein drinks great - have one with lunch and helps takes the edge off the rest of the day. The premixed ones are great to pop in bag for work.
